The Bipolar Express: Manic Depression and the Movies
Author: David Coleman
File Type: pdf
In the past few decades, awareness of bipolar disorder has significantly increased, but understanding of the condition remains vague for most of the general public. Though the term itself is relatively recent, the condition has affected individuals for centuriesand no more profoundly than in the arts. The historical connections among manic depression and such fields as literature, music, and painting have been previously documented. However, the impact of bipolar disorder on movie makers and its depiction on the screen has yet to be thoroughly examined. In The Bipolar Express Manic Depression and the Movies, David Coleman provides an in-depth examination of the entwined natures of mood disorders and moviemaking. In this volume, Coleman looks at the writers, directors, and actors who have faced the mood swings and behavior that are hallmarks of this conditionfrom Greta Garbo and Orson Welles to Marilyn Monroe and Jonathan Winters. In addition to recognizing the cinematic contributions of manic depressive filmmakers, the author also looks at movies that have portrayed bipolar disorderwith varying degrees of accuracyincluding Citizen Kane, Rebel without a Cause, Breakfast at Tiffanys, Hannah and Her Sisters, The Aviator, and Silver Linings Playbook. From early silents of the twentieth century through critically acclaimed films of today, this book compares depictions of mood swings on screen with clinical examples of actual manic depression, carefully distinguishing real from stereotypical portrayals. This fascinating study is augmented by a concise filmography of more than 400 feature-length films from around the world with themes or characters relating to manic depressive illness. Though aimed at film fans and anyone interested in manic depression, mental illness, or related medical studies, this book will also prove valuable to medical and mental health professionals.**

Questions of maxima and minima have great practical significance, with applications to physics, engineering, and economics they have also given rise to theoretical advances, notably in calculus and optimization. Indeed, while most texts view the study of extrema within the context of calculus, this carefully constructed problem book takes a uniquely intuitive approach to the subject it presents hundreds of extreme value problems, examples, and solutions primarily through Euclidean geometry. Key features and topics * Comprehensive selection of problems, including Greek geometry and optics, Newtonian mechanics, isoperimetric problems, andrecently solved problemssuch as Malfattis problem * Unified approach to the subject, with emphasis on geometric, algebraic, analytic, and combinatorial reasoning * Presentation and application of classical inequalities, including Cauchy--Schwarz and Minkowskis Inequality basic results in calculus, such as the Intermediate Value Theorem and emphasis on simple but useful geometric concepts, including transformations, convexity, and symmetry * Clear solutions to the problems, often accompanied by figures * Hundreds of exercises of varying difficulty, from straightforward to Olympiad-caliber Written by a team of established mathematicians and professors, this work draws on the authors experience in the classroom and as Olympiad coaches. By exposing readers to a wealth of creative problem-solving approaches, the text communicates not only geometry but also algebra, calculus, and topology. Ideal for use at the junior and senior undergraduate level, as well asin enrichment programs and Olympiad training for advanced high school students, this books breadth and depth will appeal to a wide audience, from secondary school teachers and pupils to graduate students, professional mathematicians, and puzzle enthusiasts.

File Type: pdf
In Kyrios Christos, Wilhelm Bousset argues that the Hellenistic Churchs declaration of Jesus as Lord is a transformation of the pre-Christian Judaic communitys understanding of Jesus as the Son of Man. This unique distinction between the primitive Palestinian community and Hellenistic Christianity reveals how the earliest Christian beliefs were informed by existing religious influences. A well-known classic, Kyrios Christos defined the research agenda for nearly a century concerning the belief in Jesus as Lord and Christ from the New Testament through Irenaeus and his contemporaries. Boussets landmark, with a new introduction by Larry Hurtado, is now made available for a new generation of students and scholars seeking to delve further into the ancient world of the early Christians. **

The cross stirs intense feelings among Christians as well as non-Christians. Robin Jensen takes readers on an intellectual and spiritual journey through the two-thousand-year evolution of the cross as an idea and an artifact, illuminating the controversiesalong with the forms of devotionthis central symbol of Christianity inspires. Jesuss death on the cross posed a dilemma for Saint Paul and the early Church fathers. Crucifixion was a humiliating form of execution reserved for slaves and criminals. How could their messiah and savior have been subjected to such an ignominious death? Wrestling with this paradox, they reimagined the cross as a triumphant expression of Christs sacrificial love and miraculous resurrection. Over time, the symbols transformation raised myriad doctrinal questions, particularly about the crucifixthe cross with the figure of Christand whether it should emphasize Jesuss suffering or his glorification. How should Jesuss body be depicted alive or dead, naked or dressed? Should it be shown at all? Jensens wide-ranging study focuses on the cross in painting and literature, the quest for the true cross in Jerusalem, and the symbols role in conflicts from the Crusades to wars of colonial conquest. The Cross also reveals how Jews and Muslims viewed the most sacred of all Christian emblems and explains its role in public life in the West today. **

Since its foundation in 1948, Israel has drawn onZionism, the movement behind its creation, toprovide a sense of self and political direction. In thisgroundbreaking new work, Ilan Pappe looks at thecontinued role of Zionist ideology. The Idea of Israelconsiders the way Zionism operates outside of thegovernment and military in areas such as the countryseducation system, media, and cinema, and theuses that are made of the Holocaust in supportingthe states ideological structure. In particular, Pappe examines the way successivegenerations of historians have framed the 1948 conflict as a liberation campaign, creating afoundation myth that went unquestioned in Israelisociety until the 1990s. Pappe himself was part ofthe post-Zionist movement that arose then. He wasattacked and received death threats as he exposedthe truth about how Palestinians have been treatedand the gruesome structure that links the productionof knowledge to the exercise of power. The Ideaof Israel is a powerful and urgent intervention in thewar of ideas concerning the past, and the future, ofthe PalestinianIsraeli conflict.**ReviewIsraels bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.John Pilger An essential read for anyone trying to understand the politics and history of the Middle East.Frontline Along with Edward Said, Ilan Pappe is the most eloquent writer of Palestinian history.New StatesmanAbout the Author Ilan Pappe is Professor of History at the University of Exeter.
